Lead 1: Shocking Statement
Misa Ando came to America full of expectations. She was leaving her family for a full school year to come stay with people she had never met face to face before.
Lead 2: Descriptive
Misa Ando walks briskly down the hall and taps me on the shoulder. She smiles sweetly and politely points out that the planned meeting place, the library, is closed for an exam. She sighs and thinks a while about where to go. We head to the art room, somewhat noisier than the library, but the bustle and clamor seems somehow to be more fitting.
Lead 3: Twist
When she came to America as a foreign exchange student, Misa Ando had no idea of the tragedy that would happen later that year. When she heard that Japan had been hit by an earthquake then tsunami, she was shocked. “[I was] depressed for three days,” she says, though the crisis was far away from her home in Japan.
